In card to the public, Col A. w. John
son, of the street railway company, says,
respecting the charge of selling whips and
caps to the drivers at profit, that ION the
contrary we let them have these articles
below cost, never above; and do not require
insist on uniformity. The most costly item is
the cap, which we have always furnished them
below cost, the present cap costing Us SIS per
dozen, which we let them have for ST each
With due respect to a man who owns the
whole city by virtue of his control of the
Council and municipal government, we must
beg to remark that people in the habit of
buying caps will be astounded at this state
ment. A cap that costs LOS at wholesale
must be remarkably good sort of cap. The
Journal took the pains to ask a prominent
dealer in hats and caps in this city what the
cost of such caps as the railway mail
clerks wear, and was informed that
the price is $3.50 a dozen. The caps
worn by the Pennsylvania railway employees
cost SO dozen. which is about the best style
of uniform cap made. The Journal is also
informed that the whips sold by the company
to the drivers at 10 cents apiece cost ST.
dozen. On every dozen whips sold the com
pany, therefore, makes a profit of twenty
cents, and there can be little doubt that there
is profit on the caps of from twenty-five to
forty cents apiece, unless the caps are better
than are handled by dealers in this city or
worn by any other class of men.

thou relentless foe of man, revisits this

Gloomy and desolate is now the hearth

she has gone to that home prepared by
the Saviour, above in that "house Of
many mansions"
Nothing can be said or done to recall
her dear form from the cold embrace OF
the grave; her, who but a few days ago
was in our midst, among the gayest, and
though to her dear, stricken ones we ex-
tend our deepest sympathy, nothing can
assUage their grief.

On your girlish, happy heart;

Whilst your spirit scars on high;
